ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani couple accused of killing their 15-year-old daughter by pouring acid on her carried out the attack because she sullied the family's honor by looking at a boy, the couple said in an interview broadcast Monday by the BBC.

The girl's death underlines the problem of so-called "honor killings" in Pakistan where women are often killed for marrying or having relationships not approved by their families or because they are perceived to have somehow dishonored their family.

The girl's parents, Mohammad Zafar and his wife Zaheen, recounted the Oct. 29 incident from jail. The father said the girl had turned to look at a boy who drove by on a motorcycle, and he told her it was wrong.

"She said `I didn't do it on purpose. I won't look again.' By then I had already thrown the acid. It was her destiny to die this way," the girl's mother told the British broadcaster.

Television footage of the couple showed them standing behind bars in separate, but adjoining jail cells.

The father said the family had already come under public censure because of their older daughter's behavior, but he did not detail what exactly he meant.

Pakistani officials initially said the attack occurred because the girl supposedly had an affair with a boy.

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, at least 943 women were killed in the name of honor last year. Only 20 of the women were reported to have been given medical care before they died, the report said. The real toll is believed to be higher because many of the crimes go unreported.

"Throughout the year, women were callously killed in the name of honor when they went against family wishes in any way, or even on the basis of suspicion that they did so. Women were sometimes killed in the name of honor over property disputes and inheritance rights," the report said.

Animals.

I can imagine the NOI having wet dreams about the time coming where they can lawfully honor-kill dey hos.

These are the monsters that Obama wants to become friends with. Figures he seems to like to be close to and kiss the criminal element's a$$e$.

Muslims are a bunch of savage animals. I have never seen a more evil and vicious culture, but what can you expect from people who worship a pedophile.

This could set some spoiled American women straight.

Correct my history if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure our alliance with Pakistan is a lot older than just four years. I'm pretty sure it dates back to the cold war, when when Reagan used them aid in the running of guns to the Taliban, so that they would fight the Russians.

Are ties to Pakistan goes back father then Reagan.

actually,there wasn't any Taliban then.

There were Mujahideen then.

Taliban came after the Soviet-Breakup,and after the Fall of the Communist Regime in Afghanistan.
